In President Obama's back to school speech he told us (students) that "..at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities." We do take advantage of this country and the opportunities that we are given sometimes. God has blessed up with so many resources to educate ourselves more and more. We need to remember to thank Him for those blessings. But we can't just do it on our own. The President also said in his speech that "Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and learn something new." God put so many wonderful people in our lives to help us learn, grow, and mature. We need to strive to be willing to listen and take the advice that these people are giving to us. Weather is is your teacher, professor, parent, grandparent, sibling or friend.
